SHEFALI writes from India:

Growing up as a convent-educated woman, I wistfully dreamt of the old country. Lace tablecloths, cups of the finest Darjeeling over a Charles Dickens. I know now the West I once lionized with the civility and beauty lacking in my own surroundings is an illusion that exists in the minds of us bigots. It’s exactly like you said, first same-sex marriage, then siblings, then a menage-de-trois, then maybe one with your own pet. In times like these, you know that either you are insane or the whole world is.
